WhatsApp has introduced the ability to add contacts and groups as favourites, allowing users to filter through chats more quickly.

The feature functions as an additional Chat Filter, which hides all conversations except those added as a favourite. Chat Filters were introduced in April this year, allowing users to display all messages, filter by unread messages, or only show group chats.
